Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with
Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose;
6.35 mm thick wheels are designed for surface grinding
while thinner Type 27 wheels need to be examined for
the manufacturer's label to see if they can be used for
surface grinding or only edge grinding/cutting. A Type 1
guard must be used for any wheel where surface grinding
is forbidden. Cutting can also be performed by using a
Type 41 wheel and a Type 1 guard.
